We had a great time at the “Light the Night” walk for leukemia and lymphoma.
Bald Man works for an aweseome company. It’s not big or flashy, but totally family oriented. I love it. There were several dozen of his co-workers and their family members walking with us. You know it’s cool when the bigwigs are there walking with you.
I thought of our little friend, Abby, who beat leukemia. She is such a fun, spunky girl, and a good friend to our daughter. All of the survivors who walked held a white balloon. It was so cool to see all of those who have won the battle. I was proud to be among them.
I also thought of Kate’s father, and so many others whose lives were drastically shortened by this cancer. I was so proud to walk for them. I hope that our meager efforts will help raise awareness and find a cure for leukemia and lymphoma.
And I hope that our children will, through this experience and many others, realize that their efforts can make positive differences in the lives of others. I hope that experiences like these serve to shape their futures. I was proud to be walking with my family. Even when, for the 20th time, Samantha said, “Are we almost done yet, Mom?”
